When Ed came home full of worries, Lux hadn't gotten off work yet, and Tao Xiang was busy making dinner. When saying goodbye to Aeolia, he sternly rejected Nagisa Kaoru's proposal to come to the house for dinner - definitely not out of a guilty conscience, just simply not wanting to make the already nervous An Qi even more nervous.
When he was changing shoes at the entrance, he heard An Qi shouting loudly. When he walked to the living room, he saw that An Qi was playing a fighting game with Minerva. An Qi stared at the screen attentively, her body swaying excitedly with the manipulating characters, Eddie didn't have time to say hello to him; Minerva was sitting there very ladylike, but the little face was still excited. flushed.
"The throwing technique is just decoration, and Sister An Qi will not understand." Minerva pressed the handle nervously, "Eat my Minerva flying kick!"
"It's just a flying kick, watch me push it back!" An Qi controlled the character to send out a wave fist, "The performance of the characters is too different, Minerva, you have no chance of winning!"
"I just want to tell Sister An Qi today that the character's performance has nothing to do with winning or losing!" Minerva controlled the character and An Qi lost to Bo, "Hey, is the character you chose a monster?"
"So from the beginning of the selection, you lose," An Qi laughed proudly, "My character is not just good-looking!"
"Oops!" Minerva's character was knocked out, and the little girl looked frustrated, "Well, it's all because of mistakes made by young people."
Unlike Lux, who is more literary and loves to read, and CC, who is a bit of a waste of time watching TV and chasing dramas, An Qi is the only person in the family who needs a playmate. This playmate is mostly Minerva, and occasionally Ed and Peach. Ed is not interested in games. His main recreational activity is scientific research. When he is tired of scientific research, he can listen to music or do a few advanced math problems to relax.
CC, whose TV was robbed, watched them play on the sofa behind him while waiting for dinner. Seeing Ed standing, he patted the seat next to him, and Ed naturally sat beside her.
"I'll give you some face, I won't ask in front of Lux and the others." CC's soft body leaned on Ed's arm, his lips were close to his ear, and his voice was a little cold, "Explain it within a minute. , what's the matter with you and Ikari?"
Hearing CC's voice, Ed's heart skipped a beat. Even though he didn't do anything, he couldn't help but get nervous, for fear that she wouldn't be able to figure it out. CC seems to be extremely strong, but in fact he is tough on the outside and soft on the inside.
"It doesn't matter, I only met Aeolia when I brought it back." Ed said honestly, "If you don't believe me, let Minerva come over for a polygraph test."
"Little girl is on your side, I know she didn't tell a lie?" CC sneered, "I thought Lilith's change was very familiar before, but after seeing Yui Ikari, I flipped through the previous records, and Lilith's changed look Exactly like teenage Ikari. I remember her saying that was the image you expected of her, the 'expected image', eh?"
"Uh, this..." An invisible cold sweat broke out on Ed's forehead, and Ayanori didn't know how to explain it. "Ikari Yui and I are really meeting for the first time, and we have no interest in her at all."
"You expect me to believe your nonsense and baseless nonsense?" CC rolled over and straddled him, looked at him blankly, and within five seconds, the golden An uncontrollable smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, "I believe you."
The CC who suddenly laughed was like melting icebergs, snow lotuses blooming, and indescribable beauty. Ed couldn't help but stare blankly for a while.
"Old husband and wife, you've already vomited, what are you staring at?" CC's mouth was unforgiving, but his eyes were gentle and watery, "Lilith's fruit of life was eaten by you for such an important matter, how could it be? Or An Qi said it unintentionally, how long are you going to hide it from me?"
"You also know that it's such an important thing, doesn't it need atmosphere, how can you say it casually." Ed glanced at the back of An Qi's head across CC, who was still playing games unawares, " It really is an idiot, I told her thousands of times not to tell her, but it was still revealed."
"Why do you call someone An Qi a fool? I think this little girl is pretty good, she doesn't have a messy mind, and she knows that she is distressed and will take care of the children and the family." CC stamped on his face quickly, from his body Climb down and take his hand, "Follow me."
CC led Ed to the bathroom. After closing the door, he took out a butterfly knife from his pocket and shook it in front of Ed's eyes: "Let's do an experiment."
"Why do you carry a knife with you?!" Ed was shocked.
"Also? Who else? Angie?" CC unfolded the butterfly knife, turned on the faucet and rinsed it, then dried the water on it, and stretched out his hand to stroke Ed's sleeve, "It hurts a bit, can you bear with me?"
"Don't be rude, let me do it." Ed took the knife from her hand and pressed the sharp blade to his skin, "I'm afraid you will feel bad when you cut me."
"Self-motivated." CC chuckled and snorted, his voice trembling uncontrollably. She took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the place where the blade was close to her skin, and she swallowed unconsciously.
Ed's subordinates exerted a little force, and the icy tip of the knife pierced the epidermis, cut open the dermis, and cut off the capillaries without resistance. CC's heavy breathing was clearly audible, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye under her gaze, and finally disappeared completely.
"Really..." As soon as she grabbed Ed's arm, she gently caressed the place where the wound had originally been, and tears flowed out of her beautiful big eyes without warning, "really, really of… "
"Of course it's true, since childhood, when did I lie to you?" Ed put the knife by the sink and gave her a bright smile, "We will be together forever, and death can't separate us. "
"Hey, Ed," CC laughed and cried, not wiping away his tears at all, "I can also be happy, right?"
"Your identity is the female No. 1 appointed by the world view, your name is the most precious resource in the universe, and your existence is the first cause of my birth." Ed looked at her as a matter of course, "If you can't be happy, then There's no need to tell the story, right?"
"My character is extremely awkward, I don't know how long I have lived, and I have long been forgotten by everyone I know. There is also a day when I will be the number one girl. It's like a dream..." CC's face suddenly flushed, and his eyes Full of spring, "Ed, I want it."
"Wait, is the topic jumping too fast?" Ed didn't react at once, "First, I just got home and didn't take a shower, second, I have dinner soon, and third, this scene is not suitable, so I can't —”
"No, I want it now." CC skillfully unbuttoned his clothes, his voice soft as if he had changed himself, "Be obedient, don't move, and leave it to me later?"
… rustling… rubbing… gasping… knocking on the door.
"Ed, are you still inside?" An Qi slammed on the door, "Hurry up, come out for dinner, and CC is missing, have you seen it?"
"... Ha... Reply..." CC's rapid breathing was mixed with ambiguous laughter, and there were dry tears on his face, "... I'm going to be... Ha... Suspect... "
"Do I dare?" Ed whispered in her ear, his breathing was even, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all, "Angie's ears are too sensitive, and I'll be exposed as soon as I speak."
"Ed?" Angie started knocking again. "Who are you talking to?"
"...I listened...ha...for so long...ha...the corner...let her listen...ha...not good..." CC turned his head and gave him a light kiss, followed by a mischievous smile on his face. Ed screamed in shock, "Ah~!"
Ten minutes later, the atmosphere at Ed's dining table was very strange. CC has a rare smile on his face in a hundred years, and keeps praising Taoxiang's good craftsmanship. An Qi had a straight face and remained silent from beginning to end. Minerva concentrated on eating innocently, pretending to know nothing.
Lux watched curiously for a while, and cast her doubtful eyes on Ed, who turned his eyes away guiltily.
"By the way, Ed, have you seen the news this afternoon?" Lux quietly raised the topic, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, "A big event happened today."
"Nanalie ascended the throne?" Ed quickly added to the topic with relief, "It's not surprising, we can't let the blind be the emperor. Besides, it's more in our interest for her to be the queen, and smart people are always better to deal with. ."
"Of course I'm talking about the more important one, but it seems that Nanali is more important to you?" Lux took a covert glance at the very suspicious CC, "Or is it too busy to watch the news in the afternoon?"
"I got back from Aeolia late in the afternoon, and I don't have time to watch the news." Ed replied as naturally as possible with CC's playful smile, "What's the matter, what happened again?"
"You don't know such a big thing?" Lux showed a surprised expression. "The public statement that Siroc just issued, accusing Heaven and Man is the mastermind behind you, Adrian Lingus."
…
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated hut in a small deserted village on the east coast of Britannia, two men sit side by side against the wall. The two were breathing heavily, their bodies covered in dust and silt.
"We are also former Knights of the Round Table after all. The new emperor is only on the throne. We don't need to kill them all, right? Forcing us to run for our lives like bereaved dogs, without even giving a chance to show our loyalty, isn't it too cruel?" One of the men complained. Said, his leg seemed to be injured and was roughly bandaged, "His Royal Highness Nanali—"
"Your Majesty Nanali." Setsuna corrected him, "After ascending the throne, it is Your Majesty, Lockeon."
"Okay, Your Majesty Nanali, she looks so cute, why is her heart so dark?" Locke sighed silently, "To hunt down a driver like us who has lost his MS, just do whatever you want. It's enough to be an infantry team, but you actually sent Shumu Zhuqueqing here, what about it? How much hatred?"
"Shumu Suzaku." Instantly seemed to remember something, and nodded with lingering fear, "He is very powerful."
"That is, what kind of ACE goalkeeper, who came up with this nickname? Is he guarding the door of Amuro Ray's house or the door of Kira Yamato's house?" Lockon also recalled some past events, "tsk tsk" Twice, "The strength is so strong, do we still have to mix with ordinary ACEs? There must be a limit to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, right?"
In an instant, not knowing how to answer this one-liner, the cabin fell silent.
"In an instant, before I ran away, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen was planning to marry Princess Euphemia to Shumu Suzakuqing, did you hear that?" Locke chuckled, "You said that he worked so hard to suppress rebellions, Is it because of this?"
"I don't know." Shanna never inquired about gossip, didn't know how to answer this topic, and the scene fell silent again.
"... You're still so bored." Lockon stretched his waist and took out the few remaining dry rations from his pocket, his voice suddenly became very low, "In an instant, this is my last ration. It’s also hard to find food in the abandoned wasteland. Coupled with the fact that there are chasing soldiers, rationally speaking, I don’t think I can reach the seaside alive.”
"Lokang..." Moshen took out the poor surplus food, his eyes were a little confused, "Are we over?"
"Anyway, I'm finished, finished, dead, and hopeless." Lockon leaned his head weakly against the dirty wall, his dusty hair drooping in a mess, "but I'm not reconciled. , Memories with no beginning and no end, the so-called life, the chaotic world, is simply inexplicable."
"Emperor Charles is dead." Shanna said suddenly, "He promised me the answer, but he didn't."
"Isn't it? You're not reconciled, are you?" Lockon abruptly shoved the dry food he was holding into Shanshen's hands, "I'm injured and can't run, so why don't you surrender yourself and gamble your life? What about the emperor's enthronement and amnesty? You are still young, and you still have the energy and time to work together with me?"
"Locang..." Momentarily looked at the food in his hand, "You made me..."
"Use your brain! It's impossible to run away with this oil bottle like me!" Locke yelled sharply, "But I'm not reconciled! Who am I? What the hell am I doing? Why am I dying suddenly? What the hell is going on in this fucking world? In an instant, I'm not reconciled!"
In an instant, he was stunned by Lockon's momentum and couldn't move.
"So, please, work hard even if I can't do it?" Locke sighed heavily, "You are so young and so good, just like the protagonist in a film and television work. I think if you If so, the answer may be found.”
"Lokon..." Mo Chen tangled the food tightly, "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"I, I always have the illusion that I still have a younger brother, maybe I think of you as him?" Locke sneered at himself, "Let's go, if I don't go, I'm afraid I'll change my mind again and want to pull You are dead together."
Instantly gritted his teeth, finally gave him a deep look, got up and left without looking back.
However, less than a day later, at the moment of dusk, he looked at the neat row of MS troops in front of him, standing in the same place with cold hands and feet. There was no Shumu Suzaku in the army, but it made no difference to him with his bare hands.
"I'm sorry, Lockon," he murmured, "I'm done here too, I don't have an answer."
A thick and ferocious particle beam interrupted his whisper, and several production machines fell down. The heat wave and wind pressure made him subconsciously raise his arms to protect his face. The sound of explosions sounded one after another, causing dust to fly. When all the dust settled, there were no MS standing around in an instant.
He raised his head in a daze, a MS that he had never seen before was suspended in the sky, and the proud gesture of overlooking the earth was like a savior descending on the world. A familiar image suddenly flashed in his mind, a similar twilight, a similar scene, and a throbbing throbbing that made him blurt out: "Gundam."
"The lost lamb that I saved by mistake, your eyes are quite good." A voice contemplating everything came from MS's loudspeaker, "As you can see, I am a god, welcome to be my believer."
